This review is from: Ion Audio Photo, Slide, and Film Scanner (PICS2SD)I am using this product to convert my old slides (from travels) to digital images so that I can put them all on DVDs and get rid of my old carousels and slide projector.Ion Audio Photo, Slide, and Film Scanner (PICS2SD). The item comes with terrible directions, so be prepared to have difficulty figuring out how to use it. Then, the process is pretty easy, and fast to scan our slides. The conversion does often result in images with a purple cast. I put them in iphoto to make color corrections the best I can, and my slides don't look too bad! This does add a lot of extra time, though. Also, the machine is supposed to store up to 14 images, but after scanning one image, it said "full" and it wouldn't store any more. I was on the phone with Ion company and they couldn't figure out why I was having this problem, although, I noticed another reviewer had the same problem. I could have returned it, but it works well with my SD card and so I kept it. If you are looking to convert your old slides, so that you can preserve memories, I would consider this machine, knowing it is not a perfect one. It will ultimately do the job for you and it is so much more convenient to pop a CD or DVD into the computer than set up slides. We can now enjoy looking at slides we haven't seen for 20 years!!...
This review is from: Ion Audio Photo, Slide, and Film Scanner (PICS2SD)The unit did not work well with photos. Scans did not look good. When the same photo was scanned with a 8 year old scanner the difference was very noticeable.The Ion scanner scanned in 5M and the scanner scanned in 300dpi. File (JEPG) sizes were 1.05 mb Ion scanner and 1/2mb Acer scanner. I would have to believe it is the ion scanner itself with its LED light that is the scan quality issue that I have had. Several observation points:1. Scan Quality is an issue in my opinion with this scanner.2. Scan quality/file size is another issue.3. Internal memory holds only 3-4 photos far short of what the manual states. 4. Transfer to the computer via usb is ok but needs to be more direct without having to use a usb to computer dump menu option. A software option solution would work far better, as I would assume most will be using a computer with this unit. For the cost of the unit I would expect that.5. The Ion unit needs a solution for handling photo sizes out of the norm. If the photo is slightly larger than the holder it will not fit. If it is smaller removal from the unit is problematic. Maybe an adjustable holder for odd sizes. This unit is not worth the money in the present way it works. As a potential time saver in scanning it has that potential but at present I would look for another solution....
This review is from: Ion Audio Photo, Slide, and Film Scanner (PICS2SD)I was very pleased with this item....if your slides are good quality the transfers will be in good quality...very fast and easy...didn't really need to read the instructions...don't know why others had a hard time...just put a few in and work with the buttons a little and you will catch on quick...I did at least 700 slides that were over 20 years old....didn't take long at all, even let 8 year old granddaughter help...after the holidays I plan on doing my many boxes of negatives, did a test on some black and white negs they turned out great...Love this machine, plan on sharing long lost family pics during Thanksgiving !!!...
